Acid Wash
Drain, wash, and refill to strip stains and scale from tired plaster
A premium take on acid wash
Over the years, plaster picks up mineral scale, metal stains, and algae that has worked its way into the surface. Brushing and chemicals can't reach it anymore. An acid wash removes a thin layer of the plaster surface to expose clean material underneath. We drain the pool safely, wash the surface in controlled sections, neutralize and clean out the residue, then refill and run a proper start-up so the water and fresh surface are balanced from day one.
It's a good fit for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who want the pool handled properly without chasing anyone. You deal with one certified technician from the first call to the finished job.

Why regular pool care pays off
Consistent testing, cleaning, and equipment checks cost less than fixing what neglect causes.
Clear, Safe Water
Balanced chemistry keeps water clear, comfortable on skin and eyes, and safe to swim.
Longer Equipment Life
Clean filters and steady pressure mean pumps and motors work less and last longer.
Protected Surfaces
Properly balanced water doesn't etch plaster, stain tile, or scale up your salt cell.
Less to Think About
A set route day and a technician who knows your pool, so it's handled without reminders.
